Chapter 512 Rock Giant
The sixth section of the ancient road to the west was a strange world entirely composed of rocks.
Rocks of various colors and materials formed different terrains, such as plains, mountains, valleys, hills, cracks, faults, etc. There was only a red sun in the sky, which released endless heat and roasted the earth. There was no wind, water, or plants in the area—
In fact, in such an environment, very few creatures could survive, and it seemed to have no animals.
Ji Yingnan carried his sister on his back and followed Ding Hao carefully.
Ding Hao ran the h.e.l.l Ice Qi, so hundreds of glittering and translucent snowflakes flew around him like elves, bringing gusts of coolness, which covered Ji Yingnan and his sister. In fact, the main purpose was to protect Ji Yingqi as a patient. The delicate girl had little vitality, and furthermore, she had never practiced martial arts. It was difficult for her to survive in such an environment.
Frankly, Ding Hao really admired the delicate girl a little bit.
The Nine Yin Meridian Severance was a terrible disease. It not only devoured people’s vitality, but also caused extreme pain in the patient’s internal organs. The patient felt as if he or she were being cut with a knife. With the development of the disease, the patient would suffer bursts of pain dozens of times a day. Every time the patient would have the feeling of being dismembered.
Ji Yingqi was only a 15-year-old girl who knew nothing about Martial Arts. She had suffered a lot over the years. Day and night. she felt pain strong enough to die, but she managed to survive.
Even many adult warriors couldn’t have such a perseverance.
What kind of belief had supported such a weak little girl for such a long time?
Ding Hao thought it was really beyond logic and reason.
Ding Hao looked at Ji Yingnan who had been silently carrying his sister. He remembered what the young man had said resolutely: “Live together or die together” while they were under siege by Tang Baishuang and his fellows, Ding Hao could not help but sigh. To some extent, Ji Yingqi was lucky.
Because she had an elder brother who would never abandon her no matter what kind of situation he was in!
In that battle, Ji Yingnan had been covered with wounds.
Fortunately, Ding Hao gave them some healing elixir pills so that his injuries were basically healed.
The silent swordsman was a real warrior!
Ding Hao silently made a judgment in his heart.
In the sixth section of the ancient road to the west, the pressure in the atmosphere became greater and greater. The balance of the laws of heaven and earth could not be violated by human beings. Warriors below the Martial Royal Realm could hardly fly through the sky, so they could only walk on foot. Therefore, Ding Hao and company weren’t traveling very fast. At noon, they had only traveled 50 kilometers!
The world of rocks was extremely hot. The sun was grilling rocks, and their feet were burning hot.
However, Ding Hao soon discovered that the section of the ancient road should very likely belong to the earth element instead of the fire element.
It was also because the rocks all around him exuded a rich earth elemental essence that was extremely pure. It was the release of the earth element’s power of law after it had been diluted to the extreme.
Ding Hao ran the magical power of A World inside the Body to absorb the earth element spirit between heaven and earth, refining his body and strengthening channels between his body and Qi.
Along the way, the fat cat Evil Moon had been venting his anger.
Standing on Ding Hao’s shoulder, the cat jumped on its feet; it grabbed Ding Hao’s hair and went mad. “Little Chap Ding, you are too unkind. When you were at the fourth section of the ancient road to the west, why didn’t you create snowflakes to cool me down? I was almost turned into a roasted cat. Now you’re risking losing Qi to create snowflakes for the little girl with a big head… You take love more seriously than friends.h.i.+p!”
“Oh?” Ding Hao said casually as he walked, “Our relations.h.i.+p? Can it be considered as friends.h.i.+p?”
“I’ll kill you with a thunderbolt!” Evil Moon roared continuously, “I’ve worked so hard for you for such a long time. Don’t you see me as a friend?”
“Oh?” Ding Hao said carelessly, “Didn’t you always tell the world that I am your human pet?”
Evil Moon said, “Uh, well…”
“Hahaha!” The dolphin Adorable raised his middle finger to the cat again.
Behind them.
Ji Yingqi was riding on her brother’s back with a smile on her face. She used to be frequently attacked by the disease and she had to suffer a terrible pain that was almost equivalent to death. After taking the Plant Vitality Pill, the pain had finally disappeared. The unprecedented comfort made the little girl feel as if she were walking in heaven.
She smiled and watched how Ding Hao and his two pets were squabbling with each other as they walked.
The men who liked to keep pets were very kind in heart.
That was what she had read.
She couldn’t practice Martial Arts. When she wasn’t attacked by the illness, Ji Yingqi would read a lot of books. Through books, she could understand the world that she could not get in touch with, and reading could also help her temporarily forget her pain. Therefore, the whole family had collected a lot of strange books, and even many obscure Martial Arts secrets. She would hold them and read them for a long time with great interest, and she would not refuse any book offered…
As long as it was a book, she would read it.
It was the first time for her to leave the Ji family’s ancient castle to be in contact with the outside world when she came to the Sage Battlefield. What she saw seemed to be the same as what was written in the books, but it also seemed to be different.
It was until she met the young man in green before her, Ji Yingqi suddenly felt that there was a new color in her life.
The young man was like a hero in many biographical and legendary novels. He had unbeatable power and a charismatic personality.
However, when Ding Hao quarreled with his pets, Ji Yingqi suddenly felt that the young man was no longer a great hero who was high above the ma.s.ses and otherworldly, but a real person before her.
She was really curious about what kind of person Ding Hao was.
Tang Baishuang, a fierce and arrogant devil, was as obedient as a sheep before him. His brother Ji Yingnan, a man who was arrogant and extremely conceited, also admired him very much for acting on whatever he said…
She suddenly wanted to know what kind of story had happened to the young man, who looked almost the same age as her.
Once the curiosity was born, it was like a flood out of control.
Just as she worked up her courage and wanted to say something to the young man before her, suddenly…
“Boom!”
The earth trembled like an earthquake.
Ji Yingnan immediately stopped. His mind became tightened like a string and his body like javelin. He made an alert gesture.
Ding Hao had also stopped.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The ground trembled rhythmically, like rhythmic drumbeats, or it could be a giant striding in the distance, running over, getting closer and closer!
“Look, that is…” Ji Yingqi looked ahead and could not help but feel stunned.
In fact, Ding Hao and Ji Yingnan had also seen it in advance.
A giant, who was more than 20 meters tall, was running over at a high speed.
The giant was made of crimson rocks, and he was roughly human-shaped. When he was running, debris in his body was constantly falling down. When he stepped on the ground, the whole ground trembled. He had two horns on his head, which were also made up of the Rock Clan. On his face there only was one eye, just like a bundle-eye, burning with raging flames.
“What kind of creature is this?” Ji Yingnan was shocked.
He had never heard before that rocks could also come to life.
The Rock Giant’s joints were burning with flames. He was agile, exuding a powerful aura of life. Obviously, it was not as simple as a puppet or a war device.
Ding Hao was also a little surprised.
How could there be such a creature in the world?
In the blink of an eye, the Rock Giant came to the front of the three people. He didn’t care about what was going on. With a roar, he bent over and punched down.
The three or four meter fist, filled with flames, was like a meteor falling from the Highest Heaven. The waves of Qi were monstrous. Before they approached, the horrible fist force had pressed down a huge fist-shaped hole on the rock ground beside Ding Hao and the other two people!
“The monster’s strength is probably close to the level of the Martial Royal Realm!” Ji Yingnan was shocked. It was difficult for him to breathe. He tried his best to activate his Qi to protect his sister on the back. He was about to dodge and escape…
But at that moment—
Ding Hao, who had been standing still, suddenly punched out.
All the pressure disappeared in an instant.
That soft fist, which was only one percent of the size of the Rock Giant monster’s fist, struck on the giant stone’s fist with a bang. A wave-like ripple spread on the giant stone fist. Then with a bang, the right arm of the giant rock monster was instantly deformed and crushed by the terrible force, like a pile of sand, and it was broken into pieces.
Before the broken rock fell on the ground, it had been smashed into powder.
“Ho!”
The Rock Giant monster roared and stumbled back.
Ji Yingnan was stunned.
Although he also knew that Ding Hao’s strength was terrifying, he did not expect that Ding Hao would have grown to such extent.
It was just a casual punch, but he had such a power. How mighty would it be if he used all his strength? The supreme masters were indeed the strongest. In the Sage Battlefield, no one could challenge such an existence!
Ji Yingqi also widened her eyes.
It was the first time that she had seen such a high-level battle.
The feeling was completely different from what she had experienced when she read books. At that time, Ding Hao, in the eyes of the young girl, was simply like an incomparable G.o.d. He did not have a burly body, but when standing in front of her, he was an indestructible city wall, giving her an indescribable sense of security.
“Hm? Can he actually rea.s.semble himself?”
Ding Hao was surprised to find that after the Rock Giant’s right arm had been smashed by his fist, it only roared. And then the rocks around its body would fly up automatically, connecting one by one to its broken arm, quickly forming a new arm. It was extremely flexible, as if it had just been born.
Relying on his restructuring ability, the Rock Giant had once again rushed out to kill Ding Hao and his friends.
“Interesting.” Ding Hao’s curiosity was aroused.
